[net.news] $NEWSBOX ignored by 2.10.2 postnews?

dwight@timeinc.UUCP (Dwight Ernest) (12/02/84)

	We recently installed 2.10.2, and I've been reading
through the documentation (including the man pages) trying to figure
out how to get postnews to put my author_copy into a directory other
than $HOME. $NEWSBOX would probably be a good place for this stuff...
I like an uncluttered $HOME, and happen to have a $HOME/News
directory particularly for the filing of news-related stuff.

	Is this a "feature"? A bug? Something nobody ever thought
of before? Or something that's available and I'm just too lazy to look
any further (I've spent about two hours trying to get it to work, though.)

	Yes, I know: I should read the source and try to figure it out
for myself. But this is quicker. (:-)
